Three Texas children found abused and tied up like animals are celebrating a new start.

Two of the siblings were found chained up in a backyard in Bexar County in April 2016. They were just 3 and 4 years old at the time.

A pediatrician testified they were each struck “well over 100 times,” and the injuries and complications put the siblings at risk of death. They were surrounded in their own feces.

Two years later, KSAT reports the siblings, identified as Josiah and Naomi, along with their 18-month-old brother Matthew, are becoming part of Lakenya and Allen Shaw’s family.

“They are not the same kids when they first came into the system, but I think it’s owed to the people that have prayed to see these beautiful kids. Ain’t they beautiful? Absolutely,” Lakenya Shaw said.

"(Adoption is) amazing. I just really am honored to be able to do this for these children, to give them a safe place that they know they can lay their heads down and not worry about having the problems that they had before," Allen Shaw said.

The siblings were first fostered by Danny and Theresa Nealy, who attend church with the Shaws. The Nealys said the kids were fearful and sad at first, but they're now entering a happy home.

“They are living the best life they ever lived, and I’m just glad they are able to be here and enjoy a moment like this and be on the mic, and people celebrate them,” Danny Nealy said.

“It's nice to see that some of the hard stories we deal with actually have a happy ending, which is really rare in our business. It’s nice to see them so happy and so healed,” Bexar County Prosecutor Carl Alexander said.

“I like my house, and I like my new bedroom with my mom by me,” Naomi said.

Lakenya Shaw promised she would paint Naomi's nails pink when they got home.

Deandre Dorch, 38, has been sentenced to 65 years in prison for his part in the siblings' abuse.

Bexar County sheriff’s deputies cried as they testified how they found the boy and girl restrained so tightly they could barely move, leashed and chained in the backyard of the home Dorch shared with his girlfriend, Porucha Phillips.

Phillips told deputies they were watching the tied-up children for their friend, Cheryl Reed, whom they knew from California.

Phillips pleaded guilty in October to two counts of injury to a child and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Charged with two counts of injury to a child-serious bodily injury, Reed is awaiting trial.
